Soooo much love! I burst into tears when Harry thought he was going to live with Sirius... I'm a bit overly emotional when it comes to these characters, it seems.

I have noticed that when I reread these books, I get twinges of anger when Harry is angry in addition to the sadness that I feel since I already know how the story is going to turn out. When I listen to the story, though, the sadness overwhelms the anger. I'm not sure if it's because I'm less involved with the action of the story because I'm simply listening and not actively reading or what, but it's a bit frustrating when I have to rewind because I missed something while I was crying.

For those of you looking for a good MP3 player for audio books, I'm still 100% loving my Sansa Clip Zip 8GB (refurbished). amzn.to/1ubHcyQ I installed the Rockbox firmware on it (rockbox.org/) and played around with settings. I set the speed to 155% and the pitch to 89.5% to pick up the pace of the books without it sounding like a chipmunk. I highly recommend it and getting one that's been refurbished drops the price immensely!!
